Riot MTB+ Black/Blue

The front of the shoe is nearly straight across, only curving toward the back in the last third or so at the little-toe end. (See the picture of the shoe from above.) My feet are shaped this way also, so these shoes fit very well. Though I did get 45 wide when the measurement procedure would have said I would fit in size 44 regular. When I first put them on, I was worried that the toe box was too short vertically and was pushing on the tops of my toes. But after a couple rides it felt fine.

I am very happy with these shoes! They fit my feet perfectly out of the box. The BOA keeps these firmly in place without crushing my feet. The colors and shoe design is fire. A very well made, functional and beautiful shoe!

Shoes look nice and have a pretty good fit. When I went to install cleats I found that the tread blocks and cleat slot scale markings where inconsistent between left and right shoes. This made fitting the cleats more difficult than it needed to be. Also I find the boa cable and corresponding strap over the foot to be too short for easy entry.

After doing the initial heat molding process and using my own orthopedic insoles. These shoes are very comfortable. I’ve done about 500+ miles of gravel and on the trainer and there is no issues. Easy to clean and holding up to the rigors of gravel riding.

I have some issues with tendonitis in my toes. Other cycling shoes compress my toes causing worsening discomfort. I purchased a wide width and the tendonitis has resolved. I ride 8-12 hours a week. Very happy with my purchase. The quality and durability are clear to see.

I was able tp pick these up on sale during the holidays. I did a heat holding at home, but not sure if I really needed to. The soles are very still and do not flex at all. I have ridden with these about a half a dozen times so far and they've been great. I love the BOA fit system. Most of my rides with these have been in colder weather and I've had zero issues with cold feet. Time will tell when the temps rise.

These began to fall apart only a couple rides in, particular the outer rubber and plastic bits. I imagine I will be able to keep them serviceable for a while but I was very disappointed in how quickly they got beat up. Obviously I don't spend much time walking in them so I surprised to find the soles get torn up right away. Disappointing since they are one of the few options in the market for wide feet.

I went through the measurement process and ordered 39 normal width, following the process, as advised. result when I got the shoes: the length felt a tad short, maybe 5mm left in front of toe. the width felt also a bit narrow. sending them back, already ordered the next size in wide. reviews are useless with statements such as "shoes are a great fit", and no size info the shoes look just like in the pictures, they should be very good.

The traditional "European" philosophy on cycling shoe design is problematic for real-world foot size. I have always had trouble with "Morton's Neuroma" or hot-spots from my cycling shoes. I finally realized the shoe width was crowding my feet together and putting pressure on my nerves, causing foot pain. These shoes (I bought the road version as well) resolved this issue. I have not heat-treated these yet and they are adequately comfortable. These are great shoes. I love the unique color, as well.
